A pass through the Darlom Mountains, linking Kythus with Tabras. This pass is controlled by Qulani whom have toll gates at each end. Most traders will trade their goods to the Qulani merchants at these posts, whom then carry the wares through the mountains, where foreign merchants trade in a similar manner.
The most intriguing example is the passage of goods between Kythus and Tabras via the Zoöcëskup (East Pass), a pass through the Darlom Mountains, linking the two kingdoms.
This pass is controlled by Külanë whom have toll gates at each end. Most traders will trade their goods to the Külanë merchants at these posts, whom then carry the wares quite literally through the mountains, where foreign merchants trade in a similar manner. Of course the Külanë themselves may decide to keep a portion of the goods to suit their own needs as well.
The choice to pay the toll/tarrifs or trade to the Külanë largely depends on how much of a profit the merchant thinks they'll make after paying the tolls, and the time/expense of travelling to through to the other side.
